Key drivers
- Current FY2026 official API count is 1.068328 million before the fiscal-year closeout snapshot
- DoD award data have a published 90-day contract and IDV display delay, making late backfill material
- FY2021-FY2025 reference class clusters around roughly 1.3 million to 1.8 million
- DLA transaction-heavy award flow dominates count volatility
- FY2026 defense budget and operating tempo argue for persistence rather than a regime break
Resolution
- source
- USAspending API v2, agency 097 awards new count
- expected
- October 22, 2026
- rule
- On 2026-10-22, query the official USAspending API v2 endpoint /api/v2/agency/097/awards/new/count/?fiscal_year=2026 and read new_award_count for toptier_code 097, agency_type awarding, award_type_codes null. Convert to millions by multiplying by 1e-6 and round to the agency/API integer precision before conversion. Use the first registered query snapshot only; do not apply later revisions or same-day correction grace unless the registered target is changed.
